The British spies who tripped up Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Michael Flynn, and others are demanding that Trump stop the release of any Obamagate docs.
"UK spy chiefs in fight to stop Trump exposing their sources," ran the headline on a Sydney Morning Herald story last week.
Fortune headlined its story, "Spy Games: Britain's MI6 Horrified at Trump's Plan to Declassify Details of FBI's Carter Page Wiretap." A lot of heavy weather is made about the threat declassification poses to "Precedent." But what do they mean by precedent? The precedent of a foreign government serving as an opposition research arm of the Democratic Party during a presidential election?
British spies were in on the ground floor of Obamagate.
Long before even the first Republican primary, they had been passing conjecture disguised as "Intelligence" to John Brennan about the Trump campaign.
They largely drew upon the ham-fisted reports of Stefan Halper, a bumptious, swampy, long-in-the-tooth academic attached to both the British and American Deep State, whom Brennan and Jim Comey would later send to brush up against the Trump campaign to no effect.
Declassification would show all the mischief before and after that pub crawl and how Downer had ladled up the thin gruel of his entrapment to Hillary supporters at the U.S. embassy and Trump-hating British spy chiefs who were eager to ingratiate themselves with the presumed next president by telling her biggest fan at Langley exactly what he wanted to hear about the Trump campaign.
